Synopsis

Every drop of this family bloodline is stained with sin. They are the embodiment of contradiction; calm yet maniacal, with great memories yet often forgetful. They pledge themselves to their dreams yet often compromise, are angels that are also devils… It’s why I hate them. And also love them.
The only hope of his family, a youth with the blood of elves and demons walks on a battleground of annihilation and rebirth. He wills his way through boiling lava and icy depths, killing on this field of despair to strike down the lofty figure in his sight. One day he’ll grasp his blade tightly and survey his surroundings, only to find no more enemies to kill.

WebNovelDB Review

9 /10
City of Sin is a daring and unorthodox work in the genre. It stands out due to its heavy Western influences like D&D and Greek tragedy, delivered in prose that is more sophisticated than the typical webnovel. Richard is not your typical one dimensional OP hero. He is a complex strategist deeply shaped by his family’s curse. The book excels in its detailed army building and its unique "Runemaster" system, which feels refreshingly different. However, be warned. When the genre says "Tragedy," it means it. The author makes bold choices regarding key characters, especially in the final arcs, choices that have heavily polarized the readers. It is a demanding read, but a profoundly rewarding one for those who appreciate depth over simplicity.
